    This Old Masters Museum is in a complex. The museum entrance was hard to find because of the…read moretourist groups gathering and blocking the entrance. Once we made it into the building, we were rudely greeted by two old and angry women, and told to go downstairs for tickets. We were directed to self service lockers for coats and backpacks then to purchase tickets. The same rude "greeters" on the first floor practically yelled at me because I had my purse with me. She demanded that I return and store it in the locker. I asked if I could keep it with me because it contained my passport and with a stern and rude "nein" she turned me away. I did manage to put my valuables in my pocket in hopes that there are no pick pockets in the museum. The museum's collection is impressive, but the curation is not up to par. Many of the master works are behind glass such as Raphael's Sistina Madonna. The skylights and lighting above the Sistina Madonna casted a terrible glare, which made it impossible to enjoy the piece from a direct front view. The pieces are incredible, which would make this a 5* museum, but the terrible curation and horrible customer service bumped down 2*.

Then, somewhere between Giorgione's Sleeping Venus and Vermeer's Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window -- ecstasy waved and found us: sitting on round sofas, gazing at art.

    This is a fantastic venue for opera and the performing arts. Beautiful architecture, great…read moreacoustics, simply stunning. We attended opera Hansel und Gretel, the German language fairy tale about the kids who escaped the witch in the gingerbread house. The music and singing was simply perfect. The venue is fantastic. A word of warning to bargain hunters: the super cheap tickets the Euro 22 will have extreme sight obstructions. On the positive side, at that price, the music is still fantastic and the seats are comfortable. Just don't plan on seeing much of the performers on stage. Refreshment stands are well stocked with Champaign, beer, and cocktails. As a bonus, remember this is Germany! Giant pretzels are served at the opera refreshment stand! Tips for newcomers: (1) Arrive at least 30 minutes early and mill around a bit. (2) Be in your seat 10 minutes before the program starts. (3) Germans are serious about rules and social norms. If you try to take photos or video during the program, expect a random stranger to correct you. Complying with the rules is part of the social contract here! (4) Check your large coat. (5) If you absolutely hate the performance, wait until intermission to leave. Don't be a jerk and leave during the program.

    We arrived on foot, but there is a tram that will deliver you near the opera house. Check google to…read moreconfirm. What a lovely venue! The exterior of the building is old architecture and rounded and just lovely to look at. The interior is a work of art and just so beautiful! The high ceilings, the artwork on the walls and ceilings. We booked tickets for Hansel and Gretel. Patrons were more dressed up. There were jeans but paired with suit jackets. Some tuxedos and cocktail dresses. Our tickets were only 22 euros because the view was obstructed, we were seats 47, 48. Show: The orchestra was fantastic. You can see them in the orchestra pit. The stage was simple projection in some screens and then simple 2D house with the opera singers. The opera singers voices were absolutely fantastic and the orchestra and opera singers complimented each other. Either overplayed the other and it was just a wonderful beautiful performance. The screens above translated in German and English what the opera singers were saying just in case. Some of the translation to English was not 100% accurate, but it was enough to understand and appreciate the story line. Even though we could only see 1% of the opera singers, I just sat back and enjoyed the lovely music and just really appreciated the show. The show is 1 hour and then there was an intermission. We left at the intermission because craning our neck to read the display was hurting our necks. The show is roughly 2 hours long. TIP: Make sure to be in your seat 10 minutes before the start of the show. We got lost and arrived at 10 minute mark, they had already locked the door. Our young lady rushed over to let us in. Snacks: We ordered a beer prior to the start of the show. Limited areas to pour and enjoy your beer. Coatroom: available because it is so hot in the building recommend to check your coat. Cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: above average, but some are very limited in space. On the floor where your seats are located there are only two stalls and had to wait roughly 10 minutes to get into the bathroom. Men's room was empty and no line.
